Dear members,
We hope all of you had a nice holiday season and wish you all the best for 2022. Public Health moving the
province to a modified Alert Level 4 is not the way we had hoped to start the New Year, but the waves of
this virus have proven that we can innovate and persevere to keep people safe and operations functioning.
We are once again asking members to move towards online interaction during this time. The following is an update on our facilities effective Tuesday, January 4th, 2022:
Benefits Office
The Benefits office will remain closed to members and the general public until further notice. Staff will be
on-site to maintain business operations. Should public health officials enact an emergency measure to require businesses to close, our business continuity plan will allow for business operations to continue remotely.
Self Payment
Self paying members are required to make their monthly self payment if they wish to remain insured. Members may self pay using the following options (noted on the second page of the self payment notice):
- Online Banking
- Calling the benefits office and paying by credit card
- Mailing your payment: UA Local 740 Benefits Office, PO Box 156, Mount Pearl, NL, A1N 2C2
- In-person payments may be dropped in our drop box. Please put the payment in an envelope with your name and Union card number on the front.
Claim Submission
MyManion: Insured members are encouraged to sign up for their myManion account for online claim
submission. The myManion portal and mobile applications offer you a safe and reliable way to interact with your plans and ensure claims payments are as quick as possible. You can also access your digital benefit card, check your dollar bank balance, work history, benefits booklet, annual statements, and other items.
- To submit a claim on myManion: My Claims > Submit Claim. A group health claim form is not required when health claims are submitted through your myManion account. Dental claims do require a Standard Dental Claim form completed by your dental office.
- To check your dollar bank balance on myManion: My Benefits > My Trust Balances. Divide the
Welfare Bank balance by the current monthly deduction rate of 275 to determine the remaining
months of coverage. The maximum number of coverage months your dollar bank can provide is 12.
